Prefect Community

Hi ! I’m wondering if there’s a way to run a flow every x minutes after completion of the previous flow run (as oppose to having a fixed scheduled interval) in prefect ?

Hey <@U02J81J89L7>, you can use the Flow level <https://docs.prefect.io/core/concepts/notifications.html#state-handlers|state handler> to create a new Flow run with the Prefect Client. There is a `Client.create_flow_run` method. Check the method <https://docs.prefect.io/api/latest/client/client.html#client-2|here> . There is a `scheduled_start_time` you can pass

Thank you <@U01QEJ9PP53> ! Is it possible to run this without the orchestration layers (i.e. not running prefect server and agent) ?

Yeah `Client` can be used in normal Python scripts for sure as long as you are authenticated. I think the state handler should also work with `flow.run()`
